The Contributors macro displays a list of Confluence users who have made a contribution of some type to a page. It can also be used to list watchers of the page.

The scope of this macro can be extended to include the immediate children or descendants of the specified page. The list of contributors can be based on people who have:

authored or edited the page(s)

contributed comments or added labels to the page(s), or

are simply watching the page(s).
